Pcos ans gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

Hello all I am just wondering if anyone else had gastric bypass due to pcos? Just want to know how much it helped with the many many symptoms that come along with the pcos? I have see a decrease in my cravings for the carbs and the sweets and I actually got my period for the first time in a long time I am sleeping better . So I am just wondering if other people have the same pcos struggles

I have pcos and it was made me finally decide to have RNY. I will be two weeks out and already noticed some of the symptoms have disappeared. Though only time will tell when I am due for aunt flow. ;)

question ladies....I have ALL the symptoms of pcos except one which is I have VERY regular cycles....anyone else had pcos with normal cycles? I was told that I have a low egg count which sucks bc I'm only 24...could that be associated with pcos?

Libra lisa, I have had pcos since I was 18 and have always had a regular cycle. You should ask to be checked for pcos if you have other symptoms that point to it. I had to really push my doctor to check for it 10 years ago as there wasn't much info on it then. I've been blessed that my only symtoms are the cysts and of course, the weight gain.

I went to a fertility specialist for that very reason and after all the test that were performed she never mentioned anything about pcos and I asked her but if I'm not mistaken she said that there wasnt any test to diagnos pcos OR that she didnt test for that...I get confused because I'm not sure if it was her or my former gyne (who by the way told me that there were no test to determine if I'm infertile or not) I couldn't believe she actually told me that and after that I got a new gyne!

I also have PCOS. I had surgery on Jan 16th. I've noticed less facial hair, my skin was always broken out before and now it looks great, my cravings are pretty much gone. I haven't gotten my period yet but I suspect I will soon.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
